Ideal for larger groups This 13.2m Bali catamaran sleeps up to 10 across six cabins, making it genuinely practical for two families or a group of friends wanting to share costs and create memories together. The 2018 build means systems are modern without the premium new-boat pricing.

Well-equipped for comfort Meaban comes with genuinely useful kit: water maker and solar panels mean less reliance on shore facilities, air conditioning keeps everyone happy in warm climates, and the flybridge gives you extra outdoor living space that smaller cats can't match. An ice maker and electric toilets also suggest the owners understand what makes extended charters actually enjoyable rather than roughing it.

Solid value proposition At around €910 per person per week for a group of seven, this works out competitively against hiring three smaller boats, and you've got one unified galley, one engine to manage, and genuinely comfortable communal space. The deposit is reasonable and the all-in equipment list means no surprise add-ons for essentials.

Missing base detail We can't see which sailing region this boat operates from, which matters hugely for your journey: Caribbean, Mediterranean, or Southeast Asia each involve very different flight logistics from Europe or the US. Reach out to Exploring Sailing directly to confirm the base location and typical season, so you can plan airport transfers and connections properly.

The marina & destination

Based at D-Marin Marina Lefkas, in Lefkada, Greece. Meaban is operated by Exploring Sailing.

East Shore

Why this is a great starting point

D-Marin Lefkas sits on the west coast of Lefkada, positioning you perfectly for week one exploration of the Ionian Islands; you can reach Meganisi, Scorpios, and Nidri across the channel within an hour, then push south toward Kefalonia and Ithaka. The protected waters and light northerly winds typical in summer make this an ideal launch point for less experienced sailors, while stronger crews can venture further south toward Zakynthos or explore the intricate anchorages around Paxi to the north. The marina itself offers good facilities and a reliable base for provisioning before heading into the Ionian's quieter anchorages and fjord-like inlets.

Can Meaban be rented with or without a skipper?

You can charter Meaban bareboat (you skipper) if you hold the relevant sailing licence, or hire a professional skipper alongside the yacht. The choice is yours when you request the quote.

What sailing licence do I need to charter Meaban?

Bareboat charter typically requires a recognised sailing licence (RYA Day Skipper, ICC, ASA, or equivalent) plus a VHF radio licence. The exact requirements depend on the country of charter — we confirm with the operator when you enquire.

What's included in the charter price?

The charter fee covers the yacht, standard equipment, and insurance for the dates booked. Tourist tax, transit log (final cleaning + bed linen), fuel, food, marina fees during the trip, and any optional extras (skipper, paddle board, etc.) are normally extra and paid at the base.

What additional costs should I expect at the base?

Typical mandatory extras are the transit log (often €200–€350), tourist tax (a small per-person-per-day fee), and a refundable security deposit (often €1,500–€5,000 depending on the yacht). Optional extras like a skipper, hostess, paddle board, or early check-in are listed on the quote.

How does the security deposit work?

The deposit is held by the operator at check-in (usually card pre-authorisation) and refunded after check-out if the yacht is returned without damage. Many operators offer a deposit-waiver insurance product that reduces the held amount in exchange for a smaller non-refundable premium.

Can I cancel my charter booking?

Cancellation terms vary by operator. Most allow cancellation with a full refund if requested more than 60–90 days before the start date, with progressive penalties closer to departure. Some operators offer a flexible-cancellation insurance product when you book.

Is the yacht insured?

Yes — every yacht is insured by the operator against damage and third-party liability. The insurance covers the yacht itself; personal effects and trip cancellation are not covered and are worth insuring separately.

What documents do I need to bring?

You'll need your passport, sailing licence (if chartering bareboat), VHF radio licence, and proof of payment. The operator will send a check-in form ahead of time covering crew details and any special requests.

What payment methods are accepted?

Charter fees are normally paid by bank transfer in advance (often a 50% deposit at booking, balance 30 days before charter). On-base extras are usually paid by card or in cash.
